Who Sleeps Until Christendom's Hour of Need
HO IS THAT German KING? Poised on his charger, his hand raised in a
warning or a salute -- this is Charlemagne, one of Christendom's great heroes. A Frank -- forerunners of today's Germans and French -- Charlemagne died 1200 years ago, in 814 AD. His name in Latin was Carolus Magnus. For the Germans, he is ‘Karl Der Grosse;’ ‘Charles the Great’ in English and ‘Carlo Magno’ in Spanish.
